Youtube Crashes Explorer.exe WTF?


Recommended Posts

Everytime I go to watch a new video on youtube, I get a "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and must close." What could be causeing this? Flash player? I'm using Maxthon 2.0.5.7845 btw. It crashes with IE 6 too.

Just noticed, doesn't happen with Firefox

:laugh:

Get the latest Flash ActiveX install from Adobe's site, also get the uninstaller (this will also remove Firefox's version).

Radish?

I guess I'll install IE7, seems I have to.

But a while ago, I went to Start > Log Off. And right before it logged out, an erro popped up with something about explorer.exe and it had a red circle and x. But it went away too quick. Then I logged back in, and Explorer crashes with no message. I just clean installed 2 days ago...

IE7 installed, crashes fixed!

..whatever. Anyone know how to get rid of the Language Bar on the taskbar permanently, it always comes back when I install IE7.

Well seems it didn't come back. Thanks :)

One thing though that worries me. My computer felt like it's days were seriously numbered, until right after I installed IE7, it feels really nice and smooth again. Nothings going wrong. It's like Windows was making my system all screwed up, forcing me to install IE7. Kind of like blackmail. They have control off me!

Well, I was doing something today, running a game or something, went to Youtube, and bang, Explorer crash. Tried again a momnet ago, and Youtube crashes again now. This is bull****. I ****ed.

Ok will do.

I found that exact dll in the system32 folder. Says it was created in 1998 (pc is from 2003) O_o.

Safe mode, be back in a little while.

Dates on files don't mean anything anymore, you can change them to anything you want TBH...
